With Wit, Reviewed By Kimmo Mustonenen

This week starts with a happiness explosion from my head mind (but not in the pants, dirty people).

“Kimmo, you are the man with a bag of lucky!” say I, Kimmo, to the self inside.

You see, I am to review my first love.

Not a human person.  But a reading experience of youth.

Yes, the books series that made many endless Finnish nights come to an end.

An end that of happiness.  That in Finland we call “morning.”

From “A Princess of Mars” through the crappy yet wonderful “John Carter of Mars: Skeleton Men of Jupiter” all asses were kicked.

Green and caucasian. Those from Helium to far off Ptarth

Then my first meat whacking to thoughts of Dejah Thoris (so hot in my mind!  Best whack ever!).

How could Mr. Hollywood put the screw in the butt of “John Carter?”

Disappointment is a pain that crawls in my stomach like a worm.

Or, here, like green four-armed Tars Tarkas (read the damn books!).

Crappy 3-D?  Check!

CGI that is less than real than fake!  Check!

$250 million spent on the crapping?  Check!

Plot?  Too much.

John Carter to Barsoom is somehow to there from here (Barsoom is Mars to Martians and others that have been to visit… Mars).

John falls in with Tharns who are green, four-armed, and totally whack.

I didn’t know that the William Dafoe had four arms – he is a good actor.

Carter (the hero) is played as a piece of white bread (Taylor Kitsch) with muscles.

And the whack queen of my first teens, Dejah Thoris, is the un-whack worth Lynn Collins.

Hollywood, you had almost 100 years to make a piece that is of a master and this is the warm pile that comes out?

Now even green, multi-limbed, bad-ass Tharns are like mouth pudding flavor free.

The loss of the hours wasn’t so much a hurt – watching my childhood friends of imagining being ass-raped (see “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo”) was a pain that I will remember as long as I can – you see, even with the smoking of many loads of the wonderful Super O.G. Kush I could not find the liking… only the hating.

And the stomach-crawling disappoint.

So I have no more to say.

One thumb droops in mourning – the death of my childhood fantasies and hopes are now the truth of the screen.

The other thumb is to be right in the Mr. Disney butt – so now Mr. Disney, you know how “John Carter” feels.

I am sad.

Ladies and gentlemen, dear loving readers.  As I, Kyrle Lendhoffer, put finger to keyboard today I am thankful that I have a wonderful friend like Kimmo Mustonenen.  While I work (and play!) to accommodate myself to my new Los Angeles lifestyle, I can fill my column with the witty stylings of that Fabulous Finn Fan-tard – Kimmo.  He’s been using my press credentials to good effect.  And with that – BEHOLD!  Something Borrowed.  Go, Kimmo… GO!

With wit, reviewed by Kimmo Mustonenen.

Rachel and Darcy have her whole life long best friends.  The two could not be different.

While Rachel has, in recent years, studied law and taught like to make their life into something decent, to Darcy has hung around at parties, looking for Mr. Right.

This blonde has found the ultimate in Party Queen Rachel’s fellow students Dex

Rachel actually had his eye on the budding lawyer, has left her best friend, but then the field and accepted the freshly baked love happiness in the years to come without comment.

At Rachel’s 30th birthday and only weeks before the wedding of Darcy and Dex admits she Dex in a moment of weakness, however, that she was in love, as a student up to his ears in it.

Dex must have had similar feelings for Rachel, as it comes, as it had to: the two end up in bed.

It fits not at all to the faithful and generous Rachel, or does it?

With Something Borrowed the screen is once again haunted by a romantic comedy.

No other genre is to satisfy the female audience easier and faster than this one.

Nice must it be romantic, a bit humorous, though sometimes exciting, a little tragic, or a touch kitschy.  In short, a romantic comedy, with the right ingredients, baked quickly.

Luke Greenfield’s adaptation of the novel by Emily Giffin relies on familiar genre patterns, adds the elements together, however, failed particularly to a film.

The well-known game to conquer the heart boys is “foreign fishing” by playing far too long.  110 minutes of film wind whipped the two opposite players, disguised in the best of friends costume, a constructed story corner after another.

The whole structure looses more credibility and calls for an ever longer a breath from the audience.  “She gets it, they do not get it …” The flower is plucked from the earth, has more petals than it can bear on its delicate stem.

Something Borrowed must ultimately be satisfied to be a film that has a nice feature that in the highly competitive genre can not compete, however.

Too bad, because with Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin is Something Borrowed not only on two well-known, but also look at two talented leading ladies.  While Kate Hudson, for her role as bitchy Liv from Bride Wars, expands further, there Ginnifer Goodwin, the chubby girl who longs for nothing more than to love and affection skillfully, lovingly, please.

While everything is threatening to Borrowed a lengthy and unimaginative uniformity to blur, Ethan (John Krasinski) appears in the only bright spot imaginative character structure.

The few funny scenes to his credit – that is, given the short screen time that has Krasinski, but ultimately filled only half as good as it could have been.  A bit more “Ethan” if Something Borrowed certainly been good, and for more variety in the otherwise rather dull, if in between time and again, provided nice entertaining narrative flow.

If only.

But Goodwin is real cute.
